. YOU SHOULD TAKE TYHMMD VAGCME Its Practice in (Jnited States Army Immunizes Disease? Dr. Roberts is Prepared to Administer Treatment. WITH LITTLE DANGER The greatest development of our country in the scientific world in a half centn ry, or longer, is the discovery of typhoid vaccine, which has proved each a beneficial remedy in tne pre. ention of typhoid fever that is so prevalent in this country. There has been no preventive in years that has worked so successfully in the saving of human lives as that of typhoid vaccine. In one of the leading editorials in the dear old Charleston News and ^ Courier of Friday last the following figures are given: "Ib 1902. with a main strength of 39,738, there were 341 absolute cases of typhoid fever in the United States Army and 34 deaths. Ten years later, in 1912, the main afcranirth of the armv had been increased to 58,119. -In that year there were 15 absolute cases of typhoid fever and bat two deaths. This is the record in ? figures of what is being accomplished through the adoption of sanitary measures and of vaccination against typhoid. "Experiments in the use of typhoid vacoine in our army were first begun in March, 1909, and as the good results obtainable were demonstrated compulsory vaccination was ordered, first v for recruits, and later, in October, 1911, for all persons in the service under 45 years of age. Dr. Frederick F. Russell, of Washington, D. C., stated in a paper read at the meeting of the American Medical Association last month that no ill effects had been reported in any instance and that the lass case 01 typnoia rever m mc #rui; occurred on December 9,1912. "Toe immunity which is thus offered against one of the most treacherous diseases should be sought by the r public at large and especially by those who travel often. The statistics show, it is declared, that vaccination against typhoid Is as successful as that against smallpox; and Dr. Russell states that the same - vaccine affords protection against typhoid of all different localities. A month is required for the treatment, three d<wes of the bacilli being-given- In the arm? the vaccination is repeated every four years. "Preparation for the summer vaca fcion may well include immunization against this disease which almost invariably searches out any weak spot In its victims and leaves its mark upon them for the rest of their lives.7' We will call the attention of the people of this town and commanity to the fact that this treatment can be secured at home. Last summer Dr. G. Frank Roberts, of Lexington, administered this treatment to a number of persons, and in every case, it proved successful. Dr. Roberts informs us that within the next few days he will ftg?lili uc prcpaicu w ^itu tuo *owi**v to all those who apply. The best of it all is that the cost of the treatment is comparatively small. It may be given to children even without the slightest danger or without even making their arms sore, as is the case in administer* ing vaccine for smallpox. We give this information for what it is worth and as a warning to all of our people, for there is no.disease to be more dreaded than typhoid fever. D. R. H. Love Divine. O love divine, that stooped to share Our sharpest pang, our bitterest tear. On thee we cast each earthborn care, We smile at pain while thou art Vt AQU f Though long the weary way we tread And sorrow crown each lingering year, . No path we shnn, no darkness dread, | Oar hearts still whispering, thon art near! When drooping pleasure turns to ?rief, And trembling faith is changed to fear, The murmuring wind, the quivering leaf, Shall softly tell us, thou art near! On thee we fling our burdening woe, 0 love divine, foreyer dear, Content to suffer while we know. Living and dying, thou arc near: ?Oliver Wendell Holmes. The difference between "The Summer Girl" and "The Summer Woman" While the former is having a ''good tima" th9 latter is too often dragging around neryous, run down, tired out, wish acaing back and weary limbs, sleepless and wretched. Often it is ki Iney trouble not female and Foley K'dDey Pills are a direer and positive hep for the condition. Ifsrmcn Drng Co. adv. l r V . , ' ' J * J"v ' ' i -.iiv, . .... .. . .. How to Kill Flies. Try as you nay, you can't get all the flies. Even the most careful and cleanly householder will have too many flies to risk having no screens on his doors and windows. As for the 1 irge majority of farmers, who are as yet unwilling to take the pains to remove the manure weekly and trap or poison the remaining flies, they will have these pests literally by the thousands. Now, there may frequently be some good excuse for not hauling out the manure, or not trapping or poisoning the flies, but ignorance, indolence and poverty combined are not enough to excuse a man for not screening his windows and doors. No, it is not expensive to screen your house. It will cost you from ten to 20 cents to tack mosquito netting over the outside of each window frame. Is that expensive? If you say it is, at what do you value life and health? Mosquito netting wilt last for a year, and is really better than wire screen, because the little fibers protruding from the threads make the meshes fine enough to keep oat mosquitoes as well as liies. Ordinary wire screen has 14 meshes to the inch. It takes 18 mesh wire screen to keep oat the mosquitoes. So far as expense is concerned, when we consider the flyborne typhoid fever, and the first and second year babies that the doctors have been polite enough to say died of summer complaint, instead of fly complaint, we find that we cannot afford not to screen our doors and windows.?W. 'H. Booker, in The Progressive Farmer. Rheumatism And The Heart Don't oyerlook the grave fact that rueumatism easily ''settles in the haart," and disturbs the valvular action. The cure consists in removing the cause.

A TRIED AND PROVED GUARANTEE Man Bought a Bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, Then Took It Back and Asked for His Money and Got It A man recently tried out the guarantee which The Harmon Drug Co. gives with every bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone. He bought a bottle and then went back to the drug store and said the medicine hadn't helped him. This druggist just reached into his cash register and took out a half dollar, the price of the bottle of Liver Tone, and handed it back to the gentleman. But he didn't take the money. He owned np that he was just trying the guarantee and, as a matter of fact, he had found Dodson's Liver Tone the best remedy for constipation and biliousness he had ever tried. "Why," he said, ''my wife wouldn't be without a bottle in the house for anything. It's the best thing in the world for the whole family, and the medicine that I prefer to take or t"* give to my children for a lazy liver."
